The workshop was developed by Sava Mamontov, an industrialist and patron of the arts. Mamontov was one of the first to patronize artists with a passion for creating a new Russian style. At a workshop meeting, someone showed the group a Japanese figurine with smaller figurines nested inside it.  It is believed that this first nesting doll was made by a Russian Monk on of Island Honshu. The artists loved the idea of nesting dolls and began creating them. In 1900, Mamontov’s wife presented the Matryoshka dolls at the World Exhibition in Paris and earned a bronze medal. The dolls became very popular and soon many artists in Russia were making Matryoshka dolls.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/05/15/matryoshka-nesting-dolls-russian-treasures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/796A5255-A26D-4791-8180-A9F4460C8FF3" alt="collection3" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/05/15/matryoshka-nesting-dolls-russian-treasures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/C2CE6175-FF09-492F-99BA-EE0D46922F54" alt="popstars" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/05/15/matryoshka-nesting-dolls-russian-treasures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/F0D386D6-1CC3-45AC-A1FD-806F8E5A69E0" alt="familyportrait" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/05/15/matryoshka-nesting-dolls-russian-treasures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/FC3A0F66-4919-4D12-8229-F0B9366A1F70" alt="russianimperialfamily1" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/05/15/matryoshka-nesting-dolls-russian-treasures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/56636EEA-3983-42A1-857D-294729186FD7" alt="russianimperialfamily3" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weburbanist.com/2009/05/15/matryoshka-nesting-dolls-russian-treasures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/weburbanist.com/img/A53C34BF-0D33-4C83-B102-6F3463E98B5B" alt="russianimperialfamily4" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9F66A8EE-14AC-4D2F-951C-12E014ECF400/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
